Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was informed on Thursday that as a result of the dedicated nationwide anti-polio campaigns, not a single case of polio had been reported in the country since February 10.
Chairing the review meeting on polio eradication, the prime minister commended the efforts of relevant government institutions, international organisations, and partners to make Pakistan polio-free.
He directed the relevant authorities to ensure awareness and community mobilisation regarding the anti-polio campaign across the country.
“It must be ensured that every child under five years of age is administered the polio vaccine during the anti-polio campaign starting from April 21,” he added.
